          I know I"m a sap, but your article made my cry. I'm so proud of you and Laura and all your hard work!


          My husband has been 3 months of this WoE. I've shown him the board and many posts by various people; you are his personal inspiration! He started at 310, is 285 now and has a goal weight of 200 lbs. He told me that thanks to you, he really believes his own goals are possible. I just thought I'd share that with you because it makes me happy to see DH so determined to succeed.

          Congratulations as well on the good press.
          No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

          Vigilance, not perfection.

                Great Kent.

                Can we have the text copied to some perminant place on the board, so if the links dies we still have it?
                Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
                he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                    It could have been better, but I think it turned out pretty well (besides messing up my ending weight -- what happened to those 6 additional pounds?!?!). The actual article and photo in the newspaper was the 3/4th size of the newspaper front page of their life section. It was one of those fun things to do, and if it helps someone else gets motivated it was worth the extra work and photo session. (I had to get up way early to go running, so they could take photo for the front page.)
                    Inspiring!

                                Congartulations, Kent! As a journalist, I like the way he interspersed the weight readings with the facts of the article - very effective. A well done piece and you came across very well.
